The Beidou Star (Wagon R) model, as I recall, was initially launched with mostly manual transmissions due to its positioning as an entry-level economical car—affordable and practical. However, over time, newer versions like the Beidou Star X5 began offering automatic transmission options, such as the semi-automatic AMT gearbox system. This is quite suitable for novice drivers, making driving much easier, especially in traffic jams where frequent gear shifts aren’t required. Of course, earlier models still predominantly featured manual transmissions, so it depends on the specific year of the vehicle. If you’re unsure, I recommend checking the owner’s manual or verifying the configuration at a 4S dealership—automatic versions cost slightly more but offer added convenience. In summary, while the Beidou Star’s automatic option expands choices as a practical compact car, its limited market presence means careful verification is needed.
